The Holton Town Council received an update regarding
the claim filed by Scott and Misty McNeelan at the regular meeting
on Thursday, September 10. Town attorney John Ertel has spoken
with the McNeelans attorney and informed the board that
the McNeelans are willing to settle for $700.

Concerning the matter regarding a check in the amount of approximately
$569 by Misty McNeelan as wages for herself, the amount will be
